    Nothing shows up in my channel when I have 8 videos in my feed

    Hi there, Recently I posted Only 6 items are ingesting into my feed. At the time, only 6 videos showed up in my feed, and after that, they don't show up anymore. Feed is still the same, and nothing has been untouched. I used a JSON validator to double-check if my feed was valid or not. The feed status has shows no errors. I have the feed and an image attached below. { "providerName":"Crytkee Corporation", "language":"en-us", "rating":{ "rating":"G", "ratingSource":"USA_PR" }, "lastUpdated":"2022-05-07T02:01:00+02:00", "shortFormVideos":[ { "longDescription":"My Discord server got wrecked by a bunch of scumbags.. on my birthday.

    Developer ID of submitted package does not match the developer ID of the previously published ve...

    Hi all, We’re updating our own Roku app (channel), but unfortunately, the original developer key was lost. The error says: "Developer ID of submitted package does not match the developer ID of the previously published version." We’re still able to submit a new version, but I noticed this note in the dashboard: “App issue that does not block certification, but may be reported as an Error in the future.” This is a free channel with no in-app purchases, and we’re okay with losing any data stored in the registry. Has anyone gone through this before? Will the Developer ID mismatch eventually block updates or require contacting Roku? Appreciate any insights - thanks! — STeN

    Is There Still a Reason to Develop Games for Roku?

    Hi everyone, - With ShowChannelStoreSpringboard() now deprecated (https://blog.roku.com/developer/springboard-api-deprecation) even for promoting other apps from the same developer, - with new games not being being automatically added to the Apps/Games category (to quote Roku support: “We do not provide additional information on the factors that determine the algorithm of the order or appearance…”) and instead users have to search for games by typing their name, it’s becoming difficult to justify game development on Roku beyond pure personal interest. - On top of that, every game must be ported using BrightScript, a language unique to Roku, adding extra overhead for cross-platform developers. Is there still any real incentive for indie developers to invest time and resources into the Roku platform? I’d really appreciate any suggestions or feedback from the community. Have a great day and stay safe! Best regards, STeN

    Convert Direct Publisher (DP) to SDK in 5 minutes or less!

    Questions this thread will answer: Can I convert my Roku Direct Publisher channel to SDK by myself? Do I need a developer to convert my Roku channel to SDK? How to ensure seamless Roku SDK conversion from Direct Publisher? Is there a guide for converting Roku channels to SDK format? What are the best practices for Roku Direct Publisher to SDK conversion? What’s required to upgrade from Roku Direct Publisher to SDK? Converting a Roku Direct Publisher channel into a Roku SDK channel can be approached in two ways, either by developing it yourself or by opting for a streamlined done for you ROKU SDK in less than 5 minutes. Below, we’ll guide you through both methods. Method 1: Develop Your Custom Roku Channel Yourself Please note that developing a custom Roku SDK channel requires programming skills and ongoing maintenance. If you are not comfortable with coding, go to the next method “Convert your direct publisher ROKU Channel to an SDK in minutes.” Step 1: Prepare Your Development Environment Before diving in, make sure you have the necessary tools and resources: Roku Developer Account: If you have a Roku Direct Publisher channel, then you have a Roku Developer account. Roku Device: You’ll need a Roku device for testing. Text Editor or IDE: Utilize a text editor like Visual Studio Code or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Basic BrightScript Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with BrightScript, Roku’s scripting language for channel development. Step 2: Create a Roku SDK Application Log in to your Roku Developer account. Within the developer portal, navigate to “My Channels” and click on “Manage My Channels.” Next to your Roku Direct Publisher channel, click on “Options” and select “Convert to Roku SDK” to change the channel type. Fill out the missing information for your channel. Step 3: Develop Your Custom Roku Channel Kickstart your Roku channel development by coding in BrightScript. This encompasses creating your channel’s user interface, navigation, and functionality. Leverage the Roku SDK documentation and sample code provided by Roku to construct your custom channel. These resources are available on the Roku Developer website. Host your content, such as videos and images, on a web server. Ensure that your content URLs are accessible and adhere to Roku’s content guidelines. Step 4: Testing Your Channel To test your custom Roku SDK channel, you’ll need to sideload it onto your Roku device. Here’s how: Obtain the IP address of your Roku device, which can be found in the Roku device settings. In your channel’s development environment, use the Roku Remote Debugger to deploy your channel to your Roku device by specifying the device’s IP address. Thoroughly test your channel on your Roku device to verify that all features and content function as intended. Step 5: Package and Distribute Your Channel Once you are satisfied with your custom Roku channel, it’s time to package it for distribution. Access the Roku Developer portal, navigate to “My Channels,” and select your channel. Options for packaging your channel for different Roku models (e.g., Roku Streaming Stick, Roku TV) will be available. Follow the on-screen instructions to generate a package for your channel. This process will result in a .pkg file. Distribute your channel to your intended audience. You can either submit it to the Roku Channel Store for public distribution or employ developer mode for private distribution. Step 6: Maintain and Update Your Channel Regularly maintain and update your custom Roku SDK channel to ensure its compatibility with the latest Roku firmware. Roku frequently releases software updates, and it’s essential to remain responsive to user feedback and implement improvements as necessary. Method 2: Create your own ROKU SDK within minutes!! Step 1: Go to SDKConverter.com Step 2: Click on convert your channel Step 3: Sign up Step 4: Click Create SDK Step 5: Fill in details Step 6: Click Create SDK Step 7: Upload your SDK to ROKU! Done!

    Can't change address - No support for almost 2 months

    In order to monetize a channel ( even with a 3rd party ) Roku made it mandatory to enroll into a Payouts program. HOWEVER, after editing addresses ( including bank address ) , the info is saved WITH A RUSSIAN county in the address!!! No idea where that is coming from. For this reason i can't enroll and complete the tax forms. My videos are running and i'm losing money!!! I opened a support ticket for this almost two months ago. No solutions since then. For the past several days it has been impossible to even try to edit. You simply get a "Something went wrong... " error. How do i contact a supervisor or tech?

    DP to SceneGraph wizard tool released

    I've created a wizard tool that should alleviate some of the anxiety of converting a Direct Publisher channel to a SceneGraph channel. The tool can be found on GitHub. The tool will walk you through some steps to generate BrightScript code that uses your JSON feed file to create a SceneGraph grid-style channel similar to the UI of Direct Publisher. The code supports ALL content types including Series/Episodes. However, there are some caveats: The code generated is an "alpha" version. This means it is not fully tested and may contain bugs. It should NOT be used as the basis of a production channel. Use the generated code at your own risk. The code will NOT currently pass channel certification. I plan on continuing to develop the code and thought it was important to get it into the hands of DP channel developers. The tool assumes that your feed file specifies Categories that use Tags to "bucket" your channel content. Your feed file MUST contain Category objects and Tags. I'm looking for feedback and comments on the wizard and the code that it produces. Please use GitHub to discuss, comment, and ask questions. Please do not use this forum to ask questions, or, report errors. If you find a problem, open an issue on the GitHub site. If you want to be notified of future version releases, you should "star"/watch the GitHub project repository.
